3 miles at about 7 min pace then 2 at goal HM pace 5:55-6 cooled down for .5

Fun to run in the rain.  My foot feels lots better today.  I think running relatively short under 7 or so miles every other day and it will heal.  I'm just trying to get in some miles at goal race pace as it's coming down to the wire.

Big congrats to Jing! She became a US citizen today.  It was a long process and a really neat experience at the naturalization ceremony.  Way to go!

Jogged around the football field at Cottonwood High while James did some mile repeats.  I did a few strides too.  Will take tomorrow off and ride the bike.

Woke up and my first steps were painful. I guess my foot hasn't healed as much as I'd hoped. Iced the foot and did ankle and foot PT exercises. I rode the bike hard for an hour.

 

Afternoon I loaded up on advil and did a short run but about 2 x .5 miles at a good clip. 3.5 total miles. More ice and rehab exercises. Not feeling good about the 1/2, I know I could run it but don't believe it's too smart and my confidence is low due to a poor training cycle. Will be pondering this for a couple days.

Easy 10K loop after setting up for the wedding. Looking forward to sealing the deal with Jing tomorrow. I'm confident that I am coming out way ahead on this deal :>

Also, we will be living downtown. Got a great space at City Creek that we couldn't pass up. I'm not a big gym fan but there is an absurdly nice gym there that I may have to join. I look forward to finding some new running routes in the area.

Nice and easy miles.  Foot is feeling lots better.  Came down with bronchitis last Saturday and that put the nail in my half marathon coffin.  My resting heart rate has been in the 60s this week when it's normally in the low to mid 40s.  Will pick a couple 1/2s to do in the fall and put together a plan.

Ran the same route from Saturday just in reverse.  Lots of hills.  

HR was finally back in the 40s today so I pushed it for a couple miles in the middle along 11th Ave and part of the Bonneville trail.

Wanted to do some strength training today so went to the gym.

Did 10 min wu on the stationary bike.

Run workout

2 x .5 miles at 10mph at 2% incline

1 mile starting at 10.1 increasing every .1 to 11 mph at .5 incline

2 x.5 miles at 10mph at 3% incline

I did pullups and knee raises in between each and kept the rest to a minimum.  

I seem to sweat far more than everyone else exercising. 

10 min cd on bike 

Just looked here. Anyone know if I can jog up the canyon before 8:30 am or is it really closed? 

PM

2 miles then hot tub
